Grant OpportunitiesThe Technology Workforce Development Grant Program provides seed money that would enable institutions to expand enrollments in engineering and computer science programs.
TRAIL (Texas Records and Information Locator) provides information on funding programs administered by Texas state agencies.
The Advanced Research Program (ARP) and the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) were created by the Texas Legislature in 1987 as competitive, peer-reviewed grants programs to fund scientific and engineering research projects of faculty members at Texas higher education institutions. For additional information, see the ARP/ATP Web Site at http://www.ARPATP.com The Perkins Grants (formerly Workforce Education) area of the Community and Technical Colleges Division is responsible for administering federal grant funds for the purpose of improving workforce education. This includes the administration of Perkins basic grants, categorical grants and discretionary grants. It also includes cooperative administration of Tech-Prep, School-to-Work, and other inter-agency initiatives. The area also assists the Texas Workforce Commission and Council on Workforce concerning community and technical colleges.
Teacher Quality Grants provide money to institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations for teacher training.
Minority Health Research and Education Grant Program and the Nursing, Allied Health and Other Health-Related Education Grant Program were established by the 76th Legislature with proceeds from the Texas Tobacco Lawsuit Settlement. State Grants Team has information about other grant opportunities in the State of Texas. Texas Education Agency Grants & Contracts.

PROPOSAL WRITING INITIATIVEPROPOSAL WRITING INITIATIVE
Increase chances of research funding through centralized support Shorten the time it takes for junior faculty to obtain their first extramural
grants 2-year pilot project (involved 35 faculty from numerous disciplines) Plans for expanding to a more general grant-writing program “Boot camp” for grant-seeking researchers:
>> proposal writing workshops
>> mentor groups and speakers
>> resource on funding techniques and practices
>> technical assistance to researchers
>> editorial support Speakers — e.g., Dr. Anthony Coelho, Review Policy Officer in the

Time & Effort ReportingTime & Effort Reporting
Typical Institutional Problems(Source: Report on Research
Compliance, May 2004 [Huron])
PIs/admin. do not have a good understanding of regulations
Misreporting institutional base salary on proposals
Not tracking proposed/ committed effort & comparing it to actual/certified effort
Personnel certifying effort reports do not have 1st hand knowledge of employee’s work
The University of Texas at AustinThe University of Texas at Austin
Effort ReportingBest Practices• PIs should certify own
effort reports• Institutional tracking
systems to track committed effort & compare to actual effort
• Effort reporting educational systems
• Periodic review (internal audit)
• Review 100 percenters
Digital Research Data SecurityDigital Research Data Security
Best Practices
1. Review BPM 75 (http://www.utsystem.edu/bpm/75.htm)
2. Each Lead Researcher responsible for implementing BPM 75 for digital research data under that researcher’s control
3. The Information Security Office will provide support and guidance needed to implement BPM 75…consult departmental IT contact
4. Research staff report to Lead Researcher any concerns regarding security…Lead Researcher should take immediate action to ensure that the data are fully protected
5. Digital research data should be backed up at regular intervals (daily or at least monthly, depending upon the nature of the data) on secured sites (e.g., secured servers or alternate internal drives).
The University of Texas at AustinThe University of Texas at Austin
Best Practices (cont’d.)
6. The Minimum Security Standards,not limited to:Anti-virus softwareSecurity patches
Strong passwordshttp://www.utexas.edu/computer/passwords/choose.html
6. Offices or labs that house digital research data must be secured
• Lead Researchers provide access only to authorized users
• For research involving human subjects, separate identifiers from the data
6. Discard data (e.g., disks, hard drives)
